You had two girls Baptiste	A
One is Virginie	B
Hold hard Baptiste	A
Listen to me	C
	-
The whole drive was jammed	D
In that bend at the Cedars	E
The rapids were dammed	D
With the logs tight rammed	D
And crammed you might know	B
The Devil had clinched them below	B
	-
We worked three days not a budge	F
'She's as tight as a wedge on the ledge '	-
Says our foreman	B
'Mon Dieu boys look here	G
We must get this thing clear '	-
He cursed at the men	B
And we went for it then	B
With our cant dogs arow	G
We just gave he yo ho	B
When she gave a big shove	H
From above	H
	-
The gang yelled and tore	G
For the shore	G
The logs gave a grind	I
Like a wolf's jaws behind	I
And as quick as a flash	J
With a shove and a crash	J
They were down in a mash	J
But I and ten more	G
All but Isa c Dufour	G
Were ashore	G
	-
He leaped on a log in the front of the rush	K
And shot out from the bind	I
While the jam roared behind	I
As he floated along	L
He balanced his pole	M
And tossed us a song	L
But just as we cheered	N
Up darted a log from the bottom	O
Leaped thirty feet square and fair	G
And came down on his own	B
	-
He went up like a block	P
With the shock	P
And when he was there	G
In the air	G
Kissed his hand	Q
To the land	Q
When he dropped	R
My heart stopped	R
For the first logs had caught him	S
And crushed him	S
When he rose in his place	T
There was blood on his face	T
	-
There were some girls Baptiste	A
Picking berries on the hillside	U
Where the river curls Baptiste	A
You know on the still side	U
One was down by the water	G
She saw Isa c	C
Fall back	V
	-
She did not scream Baptiste	A
She launched her canoe	B
It did seem Baptiste	A
That she wanted to die too	B
For before you could think	W
The birch cracked like a shell	X
In that rush of hell	X
And I saw them both sink	W
	-
Baptiste	A
He had two girls	Y
One is Virginie	B
What God calls the other	G
Is not known to me	C
